Analysis of plastic zones in surrounding rocks around a circular tunnel considering the effect of intermediate principal stress and heterogeneity [PDF]
Based on a modified Mohr-Coulomb criterion with a non-uniform coefficient, a calculation method of plastic zone boundary of surrounding rocks in a circular tunnel in non-uniform stress field is established.

Focal mechanisms in the southern Aegean from temporary seismic networks – implications for the regional stress field and ongoing deformation processes [PDF]
The lateral variation of the stress field in the southern Aegean plate and the subducting Hellenic slab is determined from recordings of seismicity obtained with the CYCNET and EGELADOS networks in the years from 2002 to 2007.

In this study, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) was employed to investigate numerically the effects of hydrate cementation and intermediate principal stress on the stress-dilatancy relation of grain-cementing type methane hydrate-bearing sediment (MHBS)

Incremental response of a model granular material by stress probing with DEM simulations [PDF]
International audienceWe use DEM simulations on a simple 2D model of a granular material to test for the applicability of elastoplasticity (yield criterion, flow rule) to the response to stress increments of arbitrary directions.

Influence of Intermediate Principal Stress on Plastic Flow
Let σ1, σ2 and σ3 (σ1>σ2>σ3) be the principal stresses, and σ3=0. Taking σ1 and σ2 as the axes, the criterion of plastic flow is not expressed by a smooth curve by the authors' theory, but a curve composed of two straight lines which intersect at σ1=4σ2 in the range between tension and pure shear. Experiments were carried out.

Since the effect of intermediate principal stress on the strength of pavement materials is not entirely clear so far, a proprietary true triaxial apparatus was developed to simulate the spatial status of principal stresses to conduct compressive strength
